Hmmm, news to me.

I will - my grandpa’s brother was in DDay -(my grandpa was in the pacific and his other brother in Europe too) - my parents both had degrees in history - so if I would’ve seen this I would’ve been fascinated at first - not offended - it irks me how people have no regard for history
My dad only ever took 90 out of NOLA to the gulf coast - it’s the best way to go

Southside is the GOAT restaurant in Slidell.
The owner has a lot of military stuff in there and it was a lot more before Katrina.
This is typical Facebook retards begging for attention.
ETA: like does that dude really think there’s just a bunch of nazi’s hanging out having a white power party in fricking Slidell? Retards like him are the reason no one has a sense of humor anymore.

Figures I’d have to explain this to you. The display isn’t just random Nazi flag. It’s a flag captured by American troops. There a plaque on the flag giving the details of its capture. The flag is a war trophy. It’s been common for centuries to display captured enemy flags as trophies of war to celebrate your victory over that enemy. What that flag display is celebrating is our victory over the Nazis.
This is what I have to explain to you.. I am looking at it from a business side of things and I wouldn't want to have a nazi flag visible for people who are passing by, to see. Without knowing why its up there, people will make assumptions that are more likely to keep them from doing business there.
You are hungry and you decide to go get something to eat. You have two restaurants to pick from. One restaurant has a nazi flag visible and the other doesn't. If you are making a quick decision are you going to go to the place with the nazi flag visible and find out why its visible or will you just go to the other restaurant?
Yeah I get why its up there and it seems like the owner has a good story behind it, but again, I am looking at it from a business end of it.
If you pass by a restaurant with a "Black Lives Matter" flag visible from the inside will you go there or go somewhere else? People on this board has stopped watching sports, etc because of the support some of the sports leagues gave to BLM. You think those same people would see a BLN flag in a restaurant and think "well let me go in and talk to the owner, maybe there is a story behind why he has it displayed and visible to everyone who passes by"/

having a flag with a swastika on it, visible from the outside without advertising that the swastika flag is part of his WW2 collection, has an underlying reason for flying it in that spot.
There's a fricking plaque on the flag.

No you didn’t say he wasn’t free to do what he wanted - you said this
So without the context of your other posts - it looks like you disagree with the owner

TBF, i would never hang a fricking Nazi flag in a restaurant and be like CONTEXT. It aint a museum and thats....a little odd....no? Like its important to learn about gulags, and pogroms, and the Holocaust, but not over brunch, huh?

So if I am just passing by I will be able to see why a swastika flag, that is so visible, is put up in the restaurant?

A person can hold multiple, nuanced thoughts in their head at once.
1. Im not offended
2. I would read the plaque and appreciate the display
3. EVEN if the plaque said HEIL HITLER, i wouldnt be so fricking full of myself to post about it on Facebook and try to virtue signal to the world.
4. I wouldnt post ANYTHING on Facebook, as I dont have a facebook.
5. If I personally opened a restaurant, id do so to make money and serve food. And i would limit anything that could possibly get in the way of that or make it more complicated.
6. I dont expect every restaurant owner to have those same main goals as me.

I would argue that unless it is advertised as a restaurant and museum, people will assume it is only what it is advertised as.. A restaurant.

Yikes - this isn’t the same thing. But people who are convinced it is, won’t care anyway.

I found the post on FB and the ignorant responses from people are amazing. Bunch of professional “victims”. I emailed the restaurant asking them not to give in to these clowns. I also live in Mandeville and will be taking my family there to support his restaurant.

You are assuming that his decor is hurting his restaurant. They are always packed.

Hey - I’m not arguing with you - just trying to answer your question as to why people thought you disagreed with the owner
I don’t have Facebook either, and I think it’s stupid how people post shite on there all the time about nonsense.
As for your #5 - trust me - people will find something to complain about - whether it’s the color of the chairs or that they were missing a French fry in their double order of heart attack

It's pretty clear in the picture.
Maybe if that picture makes you assume something about the restaurant it makes you the racist.

In short, while I can’t imagine that it was put there to offend, as a business owner, one has to consider that some customers may be stupid. Money is money, so I would consider displaying it in a different manner as well.
Ironically, the SJW nazis are displaying the very behaviors that the flag at the restaurant represents (intimidation, public shaming, ignorance, and a desire to re-write history). The gestapo would be proud of their actions.
